Yay Sophia! Unfortunately, Serenity's engines are rather loud, which made several lines of dialogue difficult to hear. I really enjoyed Serenity. Yay Sophia!

Unfortunately, Serenity’s engines are rather loud, which made several lines of dialogue difficult to hear.

No doubt all to Sophia's credit I am sure. Speaking of Sophia and since I know she reads these comments just to hear from me -- where is that picture for your Brunette of the Week posting? I know you haven't had a moment to think about it since you have been taking care of Neil, but don't forget your biggest fan!!!

I'm sure I'll catch it eventually, as well as Lord of War. I hear it’s good, although that came from a guy whose girlfriend also worked on it.
